Package: lintian Version: 1.23.46 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
dash (finally) gained support for the shell arithmetic construct "$((var +1))" with the upload of 0.5.4-3 in December 2007 (see #329025). As lenny contains a version of dash with the support, I've attached a patch removing the corresponding test from the bashisms section of checks/scripts. Regards, Adam
